And if "progress" is defined as something other than getting an A on a
test, helping others can actually help the "bright" students make
significant progress --- not simply in a social or moral aspect, but
(as I'm sure many here know) one learns nuances and different
perspectives, masters shaky information, gains confidence, etc., when
helping others.
